Unicorn Hole - At Sixes and Sevens lyrics

Roots that intertwine bind to
Their common ground
But will variables find each one unbound?
Dissonance within brought about from without
But will dichotomy prove the only route?

Upon being briefed on the way
That the evening unfolded
Ghael is outraged that her gang
Couldn’t better control it
"Kat,  I had you fight Nora
Because you’re stronger than Astrid
But I guess it’s wasted if pleading
And crying is all you did"

Astrid chimes in "I won the
Last time that we sparred
And I beat my mark tonight yet
Kat’s held in higher regard?"
Ghael says "just like tonight
Kat’s always holding back
If you were as good as you think
Then you’d be able to see that
I’m off to meet with Ghenim
Come Grub, we need to go"
"You could show them the
Slightest bit of sympathy, You know?"
Grub remarks as he and Ghael
Head out the door
Then adds "is this not the first
Time they’ve ever failed before?"

"I am a trainer, Grub- I am not a mother
We aren’t all here to coddle one another"
"Well I’d argue that you’re both
You can support without spoiling, you know?"
"I’ll leave that stuff up to you
You’re great with Kat
At one time Astrid too"

"She and I have grown apart
Sometimes her actions worry me"
"Astrid does what she must
I can’t say that I agree"

Back home the girls sit alone
Kat’s not sure what to say
When Astrid asks "is it true? Do
You spar with me that way?"

Telling a lie is something Kat could never do
"It’s just that winning matters so
Much more to you"
"You know I’d be stronger if
You’d not been benign
Your special gift makes you strong
While I am left behind"

"When I’ve won in the past
You’d often be upset" "For a moment
But experience is a valuable asset"
"When you knocked my stone away
You won for real, you know?"
"How great for me- for a single day
I escaped from your shadow"

Astrid quietly leaves the house
Kat retreats to their room
Tries to come up with a
Plan but disappointment looms
Echoes of the evening resound
In Astrid’s mind
Perceived ineptitude has her stuck in a bind
Ghael and Grub meet Ghenim under
The veil of dark to discuss, for one
What Nora meant by her last remark
